A fuzzy restriction may be visualized as an elastic constraint on the values that may be assigned to a variable. In terms of such restrictions, the meaning of a proposition of the form "x is P," where x is the name of an object and P is a fuzzy set, may be expressed as a relational assignment equation of the form R(A(x)) = P, where A(x) is an implied attribute of x, R is a fuzzy restriction on ...

I show two simple limitations of sequent systems with multiplicative context treatment: contraction can be restricted neither to atoms nor to the bottom of a proof tree.

Many coded modulation constructions, such as lattice codes, are visualized as restricted subsets of an infinite cmstellation (IC) of points in the n-dimensional Euclidean space. We shall regard an IC as a code without restrictions employed for the AWGN channel. For an IC the concept of coding rate is meaningless and we shall use, instead of coding rate, the normalized logarithmic density (NLD)....

Dietary restriction (DR) alters a significant environmental factor in carcinogenesis, dietary intake, thus inhibiting both spontaneous and induced tumorigenesis. Potential mechanisms for the inhibition of spontaneous cancer may include the effects of DR to do the following: decrease body weight, which decreases cellular proliferation and increases apoptosis in a number of organs that increase a...

In many procurement situations with simultaneously offered projects, firms face participation restrictions and can bid only on a subset of the projects. This phenomenon is prevalent in a variety of observed situations such as bidding for private label supplies, business to business procurement or government projects. We show that for the case of n bidding firms where each is restricted to bid o...

Royal Albert Hall (June 28) ; and the League of Mercy Fete in the Royal Botanic Gardens (June 30). There is a growing demand from leading tradesmen, both in the central area and in the boroughs, for supplies of collecting-boxes, Combined Appeal stamps, button-badges and rosettes, all of which will be put on sale. Distribution is being effected through the mayoral and other committees. London om...

Taiwan’s Labor Standards Law (LSL) requires employers to implement overtime working hour restrictions. These restrictions have a greater effect on women, who are not allowed to work as many overtime working hours as men. This paper examines two hypotheses: First, as the hour restrictions can encourage the efficiency of workers, it will increase wages for women in the covered sector relative to ...

Currently forty-eight states enforce felon disenfranchisement laws, which prohibit individuals from voting based upon prior felony convictions. An estimated 5.3 million Americans are prevented from voting due to these restrictions. While in apparent contradiction with fundamental democratic values, the historical roots of felon disenfranchisement can be traced back to the Civil War. Over forty-...

We compute the irreducible constituents of the restrictions of all unipotent characters of the groups Sp4(q) and Sp6(q) and odd q to their maximal parabolic subgroups stabilizing a line. It turns out that these restrictions are multiplicity free. We also obtain general information about the restrictions of Harish-Chandra induced characters.
